Sigma 500mm f/7.2 APO

This photo lens has advanced optics with 11 lens elements that are coated to minimize glare and ghosting. It produces high resolution images with excellent sharpness and contrast. The bokeh, or the quality of the out-of-focus areas, is quite pleasing.

The camera glass has a fixed aperture of f/7.2, which means that the lens opening cannot be adjusted. This may limit its use in low light conditions or when shallow depth of field is desired. However, the aperture size contributes to the lens’ compact size and light weight.

The camera glass is well-built with high-quality materials, and it is designed to withstand regular use. The manufacturing process takes time, but the resulting product is worth the wait.

This photographic lens is available in different mount options to suit various camera brands. However, there are alternative lenses with similar focal length and aperture that may be compatible with your camera.

The focus can be adjusted manually or automatically, depending on your preference. The autofocus mechanism is fast and accurate, making it easier to capture moving subjects.
